Platform guide

How to use it.

Whether you are a storyteller sharing your experiences or an organisation preserving community narratives, this guide walks you through every step.

For storytellers

Share your story in three steps.

From signup to publication, no technical expertise required. Our tools guide you through writing, editing, and sharing your story.

01

Create your account

Sign up and choose the storyteller role. Complete your profile with your name, bio, and cultural background to introduce yourself to the community.

02

Write your story

Upload a transcript, use AI-assisted drafting to shape your narrative, and add photos or videos from the media gallery to bring your story to life.

03

Publish and share

Set your story’s visibility: public, private, or restricted. Add themes and tags, then publish when you are ready for others to read it.

For organisations

Set up and manage your community.

Register your organisation, invite team members, and manage storytelling projects, all from a single dashboard.

01

Register your organisation

Sign up and choose the organisation role. You can create a new organisation or join an existing one if you have been invited.

02

Set up your org

Complete the onboarding wizard: add your organisation’s profile, set cultural protocols, and create your first project to start collecting stories.

03

Invite your team

Create invitation links for team members. Share via email or direct link. When they sign up, they are automatically added to your organisation.

04

Manage projects

Use the organisation dashboard to manage projects, assign storytellers, review stories, and track your community’s storytelling progress.

Accepting an invitation

Received an invitation link from an organisation? Click the link, sign up or log in, and you will be automatically added to the organisation. No codes or extra steps needed. You land straight on the organisation dashboard, ready to start contributing.
